Šibenik and Trogir private tour description
Private Šibenik Walking Tour
The drive from Split to Šibenik is only an hour long. Šibenik is the youngest of the Dalmatian cities and takes great pride in being founded by the Croatian kinds. Few cities can boast a UNESCO heritage site while Šibenik has two. Cathedral of St. James and St. Nicholas’ fort. As can be seen, its Cathedral of St. James has been on the list since 2000 and St Nicholas’ fort since 2017. From time to time, made of stone only, its unique constructions were both bold and unusual for that time. Speaking about the cathedral, Renaissance town hall, Prince’s castle and neighboring churches – are all part of remarkable square, often cited as the most beautiful one in Croatia. While walking through the town, you’ll see many churches and palaces.
Visiting Trogir Town
Continuing towards the picturesque town Trogir, one of the best-preserved Romanesque-Gothic-Renaissance cities in the whole Central Europe. We will enjoy a nice walk along picturesque stone streets, check the local green market to see some seasonal products. In the fish market, we’ll see what kind of fish has been caught that morning and then stroll the waterfronts where we usually sit to have a coffee and enjoy sunny days. We walk through the ancient UNESCO Heritage city of Trogir and get to know all its main sights: St. Lawrence’s Cathedral with the majestic Radovan’s Portal, Central Square, Town Hall and Town Loggia, North and South Gate.
The Cathedral of St. Lawrence
Is the town’s centerpiece, located in the main square. Built between the XIII and XVII centuries, the cathedral has a rich history. The bell tower alone took 200 years to build, thus becoming a textbook lesson of the Dalmatian architectural styles: Gothic at the bottom, Venetian Gothic in the middle, and Renaissance at the top. The cathedral’s front entry – the ornately decorated, recently restored Radovan’s portal – is worth seeing. Inside, it’s dark, with many altars. The treasury features some beautiful XV-century carved-wood cabinets, filled with ecclesiastical art and gear. The cathedral is included on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Romanesque portal
One of the most notable features of the Cathedral is its unique Romanesque door, carved in 1240 by Master Radovan. It is a monumental piece of art of Dalmatian Middle-age plastic. The local architect Master Radovan worked on the cathedral’s gateway (main West portal) during the early stages of its construction. Most of the portal was carved by the master himself. Finished and signed in 1240, it is a unique work of this great Croatian artist. The portal is divided into two parts, upper and lower. The upper part shows scenes from the Gospels, that is, the life of Christ. Human forms dominate the portal. Both the internal and external doorposts rest on the back of bent-over bearers, also the work of Radovan himself. Beside the portal are pictures of Adam and Eve standing on the backs of two lions.
